WWE 2K has announced that AJ Styles will be on the cover of the standard and deluxe editions of WWE 2K19, available October 9 on XB1, PS4, and PC. Those who purchase the deluxe and collector's editions can play the game four days early on October 5.

The game will include the Million Dollar Challenge where the winner of a tournament will face Styles for a chance at one million dollars. At this time, no additional game information has been announced.

WWE 2K18 Designer Cristo Kyriazis has shared the first details on the improvements coming to Universe Mode in a new blog.

This year rivalries are now sorted into two categories: Potential Rivalries and Active Rivalries. Each type of rivalry will also feature Intensity, which will determine how the superstars interact, ranging from being sportsmanlike to very hostile. The calendar system has now been modified to match the real-life WWE TV & PPV schedules. Also new are Power Rankings and Goals.

WWE 2K18 will feature two features called MyPLAYER and a new mode entitled Road to Glory (RTG).

MyPLAYER - a staple in 2K titles - features more customization and options than ever before. This year, fans can use their MyPLAYER in both MyCAREER and Road to Glory. It is worth noting that as users begin to create their MyPLAYER, the initial options in the MyPLAYER Wizard will be limited but the user can go into greater detail through EDIT MyPLAYER and UPGRADES. Users can also unlock more parts and moves from new Loot Crates which can be acquired by spending in-game Virtual Currency. This form of VC can only be earned by playing the game and not through cash purchases, such as in the NBA 2K franchise.

Per the blog: Road to Glory is completely new online experience where MyPLAYERS from all over the world battle against each other. Players can compete daily in a variety of match types to gain stars, boosts, Superstar parts and VC. In addition, by increasing their levels, they can further customize their MyPLAYERs to gain the advantage over others. Overall, players are encouraged to see if they have what it takes to secure entry into pay-per-view events and defeat their favorite WWE Superstars to earn special rewards.

2K Sports has released the first information on the feature set for WWE 2K18.

Some of the first feature set info includes an enhanced Creation Suite, new experiences for MyPLAYER and MyCAREER, a new mode entitled Road to Glory, a new graphics engine, a new commentary team, and the standard/expected gameplay additions and improvements.

If the name of the new feature Road to Glory sounds familiar, it should. It was the name of the single player mode found in NCAA Football that saw users locked onto one player as they attempted to set statistical records and win championships.

The WWE has announced a new multi-year extension with 2K as exclusive developer and publisher of WWE video game properties. 2K is the developer and publisher of both the WWE 2K franchise (consoles) and WWE Supercard (mobile). Financial terms of the new agreement were not disclosed.

“We are thrilled with the positive momentum of the WWE 2K series, including generating year-over-year growth, as well as the success of WWE SuperCard," said David Ismailer, Chief Operating Officer for 2K.

2K acquired the rights to the WWE franchise from THQ on January 13, 2013 following THQ's move towards bankruptcy. There had been some speculation that a poor year for WWE 2K16 may have led to the end of the agreement.

A new game update is now available for WWE 2K16. The update contains a significant number of improvements and fixes, but the WWE 2K team has singled out two items.

2K Tonight now uses 'Fair Fight' rules, meaning no created characters can be used and only default superstars and divas can be used. Submissions have also been tweaked.

The update also adds support for the upcoming Legends DLC pack. Users who do not have the purchased content will still be able to compete against those who have it. The legends included in the pack are the Big Boss Man, Dusty Rhodes, Lita, Mr. Perfect, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Trish Stratus.

The WWE 2K16 Season Pass costs $24.99 and includes the Accelerator (access to all unlockable content available in the game), Legends Pack, 2015 Hall of Fame Showcase. New Moves Pack, and the Future Stars Pack.

If live on the east coast or in the south and are looking to play WWE 2K16 early, look no further than your local Wal-Mart. Beginning today through the game's release date on October 27, the WWE 2K16 Early Access Tour will feature a playable demo of the game at select Wal-Mart locations.

WWE 2K has released a summary for all game features coming to this fall's title. Here are some of the noteworthy items:

MyCareer - Similar to the feature found in NBA 2K, users must rise through the ranks as they strive to end their career in the WWE Hall of Fame. Along the way they can engage in personality-driven interviews, interfere with rivals, and more.

WWE Universe - This year users can be assigned to multiple shows, allowing a broader experience.

Gameplay - A new reversal system and pin system along with other improvements should provide a new perspective (if not spark) in the gameplay for WWE 2K16.
